Blue Green Algae

05/19/2011

It's amazing to me that I can't find any major dangers in regards to the consumption of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA).

What I do know is keep your E3 Live frozen at all times and only defrost the AFA that you'll consume. This will help insure the benefits of the algae and keep it fresh and alive.

Here's one danger I found:

There are serious concerns about the safety of eating AFA, because it can sometimes contain potent nerve toxins. While the scientific literature is full of information concerning the toxicity of AFA and its dangers to humans and animals, there are few, if any, peer reviewed scholarly scientific papers regarding therapeutic benefit. In contrast, the scientific literature is full of information concerning the benefits and safety of humans and animals eating Chlorella.1

It could be possible there hasn't been enough test done to determine any dangers in the product, But for now this is all I can find.

If you have any medical conditions or are pregnant, please consult your medical physician before consuming this product. There is not any major warnings, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Ill keep a look out for any other information I can find on this product.

Tomorrow is AFA weekly round up and of course a personal tip of the day about choosing your words wisely, since they might be creating something you don't want.

Aphanizomenon Flos-aquae(AFA) does not come cheap. I located it at WholeFoods for $31.99. It comes in 16.2 ounces which comes out to $1.97 per ounce.

At Earth Bar located at 8356 Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood, you can purchase E3 Live by the shot.

For a one ounce shot for $2.50 or a double shot for $5.00, the costs difference is not extremely significant. Either invest for the whole container or just stop by your local Earth Bar for a great atmosphere and some good socialization time.

Let me know your thoughts and if you know of a product that you prefer. Tomorrow finds out what the possible dangers are of consuming AFA products.

The numerous reported benefits of AFA are based on scientific research, the clinical results of health care practitioners and the testimonials of real people. Although the following statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, and AFA products are not intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease, by eliminating hidden nutritional deficiencies and detoxifying the body, the nutrients in AFA products can lead to a more long-term improvement in general health and anti-aging.

Tomorrow more on AFA and what product to purchase, where to buy and costs.

E3Live is a Certified Organic and Kosher, freshly frozen green live superfood. There are many companies that supply this Aphanizomenon flos-aquae superfood but not all of them are beneficial.

What is Aphanizomenon flos-aquae? I even had to look this one up! AFA is a type of blue-green algae that grows worldwide and is a Cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are among the most ancient life forms on earth, estimated over 3.5 billion years old.

Blue Green Algae was the very first organism to achieve photosynthesis. Using solar energy to release oxygen. This was made possible by chlorophyll, which is a green pigment found in almost all plants, algae and cyanobacteria like AFA.

So where I'm getting at is, chlorophyll is a very important part of the algae. Oxygen is the prime nutrient, and chlorophyll is the central molecule for increasing the oxygen availability to your system. Chlorophyll is vital for the body's rapid assimilation of amino acids. Algae is the highest known source of chlorophyll.

Tomorrow read about all the benefits of AFA and how it might be able to help you look more youthful with its anti-aging benefits!
